Alex Gledhill

Metabolism Expert (and bell-ringer)

Graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry and Pharmacology from Liverpool University, Alex spent two years synthesising leukotriene analogues for an asthma research programme.

Alex joined the Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics team at the ICI Central Toxicology Laboratory (later known as Syngenta CTL) in the late 80’s. There, she was involved in all areas of regulatory and investigatory ADME and PK work for a range of crop protection chemicals, drugs and general chemicals including new active substances and existing products. Since leaving Syngenta for a career in consultancy in 2010, Alex has gained extensive experience in human health risk assessment.

On Sunday mornings you can usually find Alex up the bell tower of the local church where she is one of the bell ringing team waking up the local neighbourhood. She also has an interest in food and nutrition and spends a lot of time in the local library researching recipes to try at home.
